  2. Lifting up the family in prayer 🙏 ❤️
    Amy sure will be missed, I know she is with Jesus and we will see her again.
    The bible says if we ask The Lord to forgive our sins and we welcome Him to come live in our hearts then we have the hope that we really never die we just transition to our forever home. One day Jesus will return. 🙌 We all must be ready ❣️
